McFarlane Toys has announced two separate deals concerning the licensing rights of The Walking Dead.

The first is with AMC to create action figures based on the television series that premiered on the network in October of last year. The second is with Robert Kirkman to also create action figures based on the comic-book series. Both lines will be available this fall.

Rob Caprilozzi created Comic Monsters in 2004 and eventually expanded the site in 2009 to Horror News Network. Born out his love for all aspects of horror, Rob still remains hardcore comic fan. You can keep up with him on Twitter @RobCaprilozzi.
